“There are a fair number of predatory attacks by grizzly/brown bears which stalk their prey.”

I think you’re confusing territorial defense and opportunistic feeding with predatory behavior.

How do you distinguish between the two, when the victim/s did not survive?

Grizzly bears often cover up their prey to feed on later. Easier to pull appart and eat after it has decayed a bit...

A number of the attacks are listed as predatory by the investigating authorities.
